ORD INANCE NO. 936 - Reports of Residential Buildi19 Rqcords
In lesponse to a request from l,b.yor Amstrup, there was a showing of
hands of persons in the audience concerned with ordinance No. 936
(Reports of Residential Building Records) scheduled for second reading
on this date. Thereafter, Mayor Amstrup announced that Council was
$rilling to depart frorn the agenda order and to consider the ordinance
at this tine, as an accommodation to persons desirous of makinq their
vieus known.
l,hyor Amstrup noted that the matter has been carried over a series
of meeting since last June, that every effort has been made to give
evexyone an opportunity of being heard and to clarify misgivings
and doubts as to the purpose of the ordinance, but apparently mis-
conceptions continue to exist as was evidenced recently in a tele-
phone call he received from a citizen extrenely agitated over the
issue of on-site inspections. I{e explained that the ordinance before
Council makes no provision for mandatory physical inspections, that
such inspection will occur only where there is written consent of the

property o$,ner: the re-port that the ordinance wiIl require will be
prepared by city staff fron records in the city haLl having to do uith
zoning classification, authorized use and occupancy.
The Chair referred to a report dated Novernb er 30, L97L, flon the
City Planner entitled "Advantages of Ordinance No. 936;'t at his re-
quest the City Planner read the report in its entirety. (The report
is on fi le, )
Conments were invited fron the audience.
I,ks. Raymond V. Carr, 2627 Easton Drive, asked about the cost of thereport which the ol^,n er must furnish; !,trs. Victoria J. Moyer, 444 Bloon-field Road, stated that if the report is intended to protect theinterests of a buyer, he should pay the fee.
lvtr. Robert Bi1ls, 483 lthrtin Drive, filed q,ith the City Clerk peti-
tions and statenents signed by homeowners throughout the city objectingto the ordinancel he spoke at length in opposition, read an editorial
vrhich appeared in the November L2, 1971, issue of the San l',tateo Timescritical of a similar ordinance proposed to be enacted in the City of
:i:,F:pif }i4iffiW#"#,"ffi4#Wa#W#"ffi":::"::"
as a rflethod of alerting the city to possible illegal building, and
declared that the ordinance, as proposed, will create a hardship uponproperty owners who, through ignorance of the law or misinformation,
may have purchased a property where an illegal condition exists.
Additional comments were heard fron !4r. ceorge Smith, 2641 Martinez,Ittr. r{illiam C. Orconno!, 2508 Poppy, and }ts. Lois Notaro, L5 Lorton,in oppositi on.
1.4r. Hugh Connoll.y, attorney representing San l,lateo-Bur lingame Boardof Realtors, recalled that when the ordinance was first discussed byCouncil there was litt1e objection on the part of the comnunity,
exce.pt for the stand taken by the realtors board but it is apparent
now that there is considerable agitation and concertu. l,k. Connolly
suggested that Council consider postponing enactnent and appoint aconmittee of homeowners and representatives of the, realtors board tor{ork with staff and atterrpt to prepare a proposal that will bemutually acceptable from the standpoint of the city's desire to halt
i11e9al construction and the citizensr interest in protectirlg their
rights as homeowners and taxpayers.
fn lesponse to Councilman l.langini, the City Attorney reported it
was the consensus of persons on staff with whom he discussed thematter, that the fee of $2O.OO would cover costs of processing theapplications for the reports based on city halI records but that thecity would lose money at S25.OO for the physical inspections; further-
more, every ordinance, in a sense, is on a trial basis--they are allsubject to appeal and can be revised with an arnending ordinance when-
ever Council considers it necessary; with respect to the r€port form,
the City Attorney pointed out that the ordinaDce provides that the
form of the r€port or any revision thereof shall be subject to Council
approval.
Driring a period of Council corunent, Councilman Johnson reiterated her
position in opposition to the ordinance on the grounds that it will
not acconplish everything that is expected of it; assuredly, sone
i1le9a1 conditions ui11 be discovered where a property is sold but,
conversely, the ordinance will not expose violations that are in
existence now or will occur in the future where a property is never
placed on the open market for sale.
Councilnan Martin referred to the objection raised from the floor
to the requirement that the seIler pay for the basic report, explaining
that the city has no discretion in this area--the enabling legislation
provides that the se1ler pay the fee; the on-site inspection is a con-
dition to the basic requirements of the enabling legislation and,
in this area, the city has the authority to decide responsibility fot
the fee. Commenting that the concePt of the ordinance is complex and,
understandably, difficult to comprehend, councilman Martin expressed
interest in l&. Connollyrs suggestion of a citizensr group working
16i
with staff as a method of informing the people of the problens
involved and difficulties that Council has faced in attenpting to
resolve a natter that has troubled the city for some time; he stated
that some form of legislation is needed and suggested that the corn-
mittee be appointed and allowed a period of perhaps 90 days to review
and submit a recommendation.
CouncilrEn tbngini stated that from the onset he felt the ordinance
left rnuch to be desired but vras convinced the problerns of zoning and
building code violations must be controlled for the betterment of
the city; he suppor ted the idea of inviting citizens rpalti.cipation.
lrayor Amstrup invited anyone interested in serving on the committee
to submit his nane to a staff menber in attendancei the discussion
rtas concluded and action on the ordinance delayed pending formation
of a citizens I conmittee and its reconunendation to Council, preferably
within a period not to exceed 90 days.

AIR RIGHTS LEASE
l,layor Amstrup acknowledged the following communications relative tothe air rights lease at the city parking lot on the south side of
Donnelly Avenue, requested by Pacific Western Contractors:
FYorn the City Manager dated December 2, L97L, reporting the actionof the Parking District Steering Committee at its meeting on
December I, L97L, wherein the majority voted in favor of the lease,
subject to a series of conditions; (the conditions are recited in
the City Manager rs communication. )
Flom the Chamber of Commerce dated November 19, Lg7L, reporting
that the Board of Directors declared in favor of the parking lotproject, with certain conditions.
The City Attorney commented with respect to procedure--Council andthe developer must attempt to resolve the rnatter of the lease; he
noted that the special committee appointed by Council to study the
matter has submitted its recommendationsl the Chamber of Commerce
has made recommendations; members of Council and staff have voiced
opinions--Council must decide whether any or aLl of the recommenda-
tions shal1 be accepted for incorporation in the document. He
advised that after a lease has been prepared that is acceptable and
agreeable to both the Council and the tenant a publ-ic hearing should
be scheduled to exclude the air space from the parking district--
the lease cannot be signed until it has been determined that theair space is out of the district because it is surplus.
Mayor Amstrup recognizecl l4r. Joseph Ge1ler, attorney representing
the lessees; Ivlr. Geller stated that he attended the meeting of Park-
ing llistrict Steering Committee on December I, L97L, and that his
client is prepared at this time to accept all of the conditons recom-
mended by the Committee. Mr. Geller recommended that the lease pre-
pared by llr. Kenneth Jones be modified to include such conditions
and that Council, thereafter, proceed to schedule the public hearing.
Councilman Martin recalled that Ivlr. Jones had indicated that the
parking district should receive fair market value for the air space;
he asked lvk. Geller to explain the monetary value that wiLI accrue to
the district, if the lease is modified. in conformance with the Park-
ing District Steering Committee's recommendations.
Mr. Gel1er, W. Robert Church, representing Pacific Western Contrac-
tors, and IvIr. Robert Thompson, Past President, Chamber of Commerce,
commented that there were other criteria to be used in determing
value, apart from dollar valuel in the present situation, value would
be the contribution of additional parking spaces to the district and
ultimate reversion of the structure to the district at the e><pira-
tion of the lease in 3O years; and tha.t Council, as trustees for the
dis trict, could find that there are intrinsic values that r.vould be
sufficient to the city to be the basis for releasing the air rights.
